It's because U-Turns only are arsenal for political buffs. The average joe (as I rightly called when the U-Turn happened) doesn't care about U-Turns if the policy they are changing is shit. They see it as good leadership. As this poll confirms.

This is why we shouldn't let it be labelled as a U turn. In no way did it reverse the policy, they only made some vague comments about maybe looking into the possibility of introducing some sort of cap. Which would actually be more regressive.

What we should really be hammering home is that she hasn't actually changed anything, just made some vague promises that it won't be that bad and announced a cap that will only be given a figure after the election.
